Noise Reduction for Mobiles Can Save Lives
Developed under the European Commission's IST programme, the ANITA system uses innovative software to reduce background noise in real time to allow emergency service workers to communicate more clearly with each other and with their headquarters even in the most acoustically challenging conditions."Fire fighters, for example, have to communicate with engine, road and wind noise while driving, with sirens in the background and with water pumps in operation.

"By filtering out background noise they are able to communicate more effectively, something that in certain circumstances would reduce the hazards for them and could save lives."The ANITA project partners developed two prototypes of the system, one for use inside vehicles and another for handsets for use on the street.
